About
I am a seasoned designer/artist with a strong passion for details, color and pattern. I have designed garments and prints across a broad range of categories including men's, women's, children's sports and active wear. My work ethic and eagerness to solve problems have made me a versatile designer and artist working both independently and within a team. I thrive in taking on new challenges and developing my vision through unconventional ideas.
